Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 782
From the day Hibari Misora ​​passed away, Enka Pai has held back all her energy, wanting to do something great for her and send her to the altar.Of course, doing so much is ultimately for your own dignity.

If it was a few years ago, when enka was still booming.Although there will be a lot of great things to do, at least, it won't be treated as a matter of face by the Enge School like it is now, and it will take so much trouble.

It is precisely because enge is going downhill, under such circumstances, the engeists will be particularly sensitive.

If you really try your best, you will lose the grand prize in the end.Then the meaning of "lose" becomes very different.Under such circumstances, if they lose face, the hatred can be imagined.

The Enge School has considerable weight in the industry, and the forces behind it are intricate and involved a lot. If they can make friends, try not to offend them.

Watanabe Mayumi said without hesitation, "This time, there is no one else who can take this award except Miku-san."

While saying this sentence, I have already imagined what kind of awards ceremony will be arranged, and the chorus of the singers present must not be missing.

It is also the red and white song meeting broadcast on New Year's Eve, and related commemorative links are indispensable.Thinking about the situation of "everyone expects it", there is no need for DREAMS COME TRUE to fight for it.

"That's right." Yanqiao Shinichi echoed her.

Whether to fight for the grand prize or not, the two of them don't need to talk about it at all, they both think the same.Besides, the current DREAMS COME TRUE, strictly speaking, is still on the rise, and it is a stage that cares more about actual popularity and sales than seniority and status.

Even if you get the grand prize, it's just the icing on the cake.

"If you want to put it this way, there is nothing to worry about. If the industry is united and awards the grand prize to Misora-san, then that's fine. The Queen of Enka, who represents Showa, won the grand prize for her posthumous work that sold well. Even if some viewers think that DREAMS COME TRUE is more qualified, it is not enough to shake the fundamentals of the show.”

After all, this is a single that has actually sold over 50 copies, and it is still the posthumous work of the enka queen who can represent Showa.

It's not the kind of plastic waste that only squeezed out 18 copies from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and dared to operate the grand prize.

Besides, this year marks the end of the Showa era.The enka queen of Showa passed away with the end of the Showa era, which is of great significance.Emphasize the "era" more, let the critics say more about it later, and if the groundwork is done, then it will not be a problem.

To be honest, DREAMS COME TRUE and Hibari Misora, one represents the new era of Heisei, and the other represents the Showa era that has passed but has not yet begun to dissipate.

It is right to support DREAMS COME TRUE, and it is also reasonable to support Hibari Misora.

"Actually," Yanqiao Shenyi pondered for a while, "I'm more worried about another thing."

Watanabe Wanyumi looked at him, recalling what he said just now, her heart moved, "If the industry is of one mind..."

"That's it." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "As expected of Manyumi-san."

Watanabe Wanyumi didn't take his words, and said what he wanted to say, "If the industry is united and wants Miku-san to win the award, then everything will be logical. However, the industry is not really monolithic."

When she said this, she paused, "The most important thing is that we are not without enemies."

This is the true meaning of the phrase "really troublesome" that Yanqiao Shinichi complained.

"If we can't save the Yange faction's face this time, we will definitely form a big enmity with the Yange faction. If we don't know where, there is some force that secretly contributes to give the band such a 'big gift'."

While talking about the worst possibility, Shinichi Iwahashi smiled thoughtfully, "The two songs have their own merits, and they are both representative works of this year. DREAMS COME TRUE deserves the award."

Similarly, if DREAMS COME TRUE won the grand prize, while some viewers think it deserves it, there will also be another part of the audience who think it's a pity that Hibari Misora ​​didn't win the grand prize.

However, because both sides have this qualification, even if there are voices of discussion, it will not be fundamentally shaken by it.For the Daesang program, it will not be affected by which party it is awarded to.

However, if the grand prize really falls to DREAMS COME TRUE, it will become a branding iron that can burn the band, even Wanyumi Watanabe and Shinichi Iwahashi behind the band, and even Sony.

But the Sony family has a big business, and the ones who will really be hurt are Wanyumi Watanabe, Shinichi Iwahashi, and the band.

The two people who offended the Engepai and still have to run a record company will definitely be angered by the Engepai in the future.The Enge School has a lot of influence in various associations, and it would be troublesome to have such an enemy under the tree.

There is also DREAMS COME TRUE, a band that still has a lot of room for improvement. Shinichi Iwahashi would never want the band to get involved in such disgraceful things for no reason.

"It's because of this that we must avoid Misora-san's edge." Yanqiao Shinichi said, "Even if this enemy seems to be just our imagination, we are prepared for any danger. What's more, the enemy really exists, at least we I suffered once."

Last year, around this time, the band was first invited to the Red and White Song Concert, which seemed like a great thing.As a result, when I turned my head around, I had a plot that "the band's masterpiece is suspected of cursing the locust to death, and the song must be changed".

"However, Zhou Fang-san has a close relationship with the enka world." Watanabe Wanyumi reminded.

Before Zhou Fang Yuxiong made his fortune, he worked as a driver for Saburo Kitajima. Now BURNING has also signed many enka singers under his banner.

However, after all, she herself is not sure whether this overlord of the entertainment world will do one thing in front of the other.

Besides, it's a fact that not all the jury members of the awards are from the Enka school.

"In short, as you said, there is no one else who can win the grand prize except Miku-san." Shinichi Iwahashi is not too entangled in unknown things.

Anyway, not to steal the limelight from Hibari Misora, this is the consensus between him and Mayumi Watanabe.

As for the worry about being plotted against by someone, although it seems a bit redundant for the time being, regardless of whether the imaginary enemy exists or not, it is already determined not to win the prize, and it will not change this time just because the worry is false or true. Action strategy.

"There are also Sony's ideas. We need to communicate with the record company." Watanabe Mayumi also put aside that worry and only talked about the present.

When the firm wants to fight for the big prize, the record company will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to let them toss.But if the agency wants to give up the grand prize, it has to seek the opinion of the record company in advance.The two sides will cooperate in the future and must maintain a good relationship.

Part of a good relationship is mutual trust.Be as candid as possible when it comes to the band.

"This is the matter of Manyumi-san coming forward to communicate with that side. After all, you are the boss of the band." Shinichi Iwahashi said immediately.

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, "The speed of saying this is so fast that it seems to be evading."

"Wherever it is, it's following the rules." Yanqiao Shinichi was confident.

Watanabe Wanyumi didn't know what to say.But the bickering is the bickering, it is her task to communicate with Sony, and Yanqiao Shinichi can't think of staying out of it like this.

Everything requires a strategy, and a way to get out of the way.

"correct."

Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it, and asked Wanyumi Watanabe, "Are there any larger indoor performance venues around Tokyo that can get a rental permit two or three months in advance?"

"Large indoor venues, at least half a year in advance application. Smaller venues, it is possible." Watanabe Wanyumi replied.

Yanqiao Shen nodded, "That's true."

It is impossible for him, who has organized music festivals and planned concerts, not to know.

Wanyumi Watanabe thought of something, but didn't say it, she just said: "I will discuss it with Sony. As for the band..."

Yanqiao Shen smiled, "I went around, but I still can't hide."

"This is your job, Iwahashi-san." Wanyumi Watanabe was also confident, and returned him.

Fine.

……

Secret things, secretly.

Before that, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe, both of them came forward, as the behind-the-scenes men in the industry, each bought a relic of Hibari Misora.

Those who received this letter were either Misora ​​Hibari's close friends or the people in black behind the scenes in the industry. As for ordinary celebrities, this matter has nothing to do with them.

Buying relics is of course not putting out a bunch of things for people to pick and choose, just like opening a flea market.Instead, he made a list of the things to be sold this time in advance, solicited opinions from those who are interested, and then entertained them politely in the tea room, accepted the things, and greeted Hibari Misora's adopted son and sister to say thanks... This is the end.

Of course, a tea party is not just for one or two people. At this time, it is also an opportunity for people in the industry to meet and communicate with each other.

Any place can be a place of connection.

Misora ​​Hibari, who became famous at a young age, bought 16 ping of land in his hometown of Yokohama when he was [-] years old, and built his own mansion.The degree of luxury of the house is called "Miss Skylark's palace" by the people nearby.

Of course, child stars are mostly cash cows, and the idea of ​​buying [-] square meters of land to build a luxury house probably wasn't her idea at first.

However, having been immersed in such a life since childhood, Hibari Misora ​​is by no means a simple old artist, and there is no shortage of good things among the relics sold by her adopted son.

Misora ​​Hibari's kimono is bought by female singers in the enka world.After buying it back, instead of putting it in the box, I will take it out and wear it when performing later.In the entertainment industry, which pays attention to the inheritance of master and apprentice, it is even the honor of a singer to perform in the clothes of the predecessors.

The people in black behind the scenes bought her collections during her lifetime, as well as some of her own artwork and handicrafts.

After deciding what he wanted to buy, Shinichi Iwahashi received the invitation to visit Hibari Misora's house and write his name on the prepared list.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who has just accomplished two major events, is at a very hot time in the industry.This time when I went to Misora ​​Hibari's house, his young and unfamiliar face became the hot spot at the tea party.

Not only the black-clothed people behind the scenes at the same table were very interested in Iwahashi Shinichi, but the host of the tea party, Misora ​​Hibari’s adopted son Kato Kazuya, also showed a trace of yearning for Iwahashi Shinichi who was chatting politely with others.

He has seen this guy's face on TV!

He is young, maybe not a few years older than himself, but he has already done so many heroic deeds, and he is still the president of a record company.

During the dinner, Kato Kazuya also took the initiative to talk to Iwahashi Shinichi, "I have watched the documentary of THE BLUE HEARTS, it is so handsome!"

Iwahashi Shinichi looked at this boyish face, "Thank you, Kato..."

"Please call me 'Kazuya-kun'." Kato Kazuya's tone has the cheerfulness of a teenager, but he is not lacking in politeness. Misora ​​Hibari's tutor can be seen from this adopted son.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Kazuya-kun." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.

Kato Kazuya is full of curiosity about this young president. If possible, he really wants to break the casserole and ask him to the end and "examine" him.

The reason why he is so interested is because the appearance of Iwahashi Shinichi greatly encouraged Kato Kazuya.

He also wants to be such a president!
He has a huge inheritance from his mother, and he also has a promise that his mother's friends in the entertainment industry will take care of him.The mother's stepbrother, the son of Kazuo Tianoka, the third generation of the Lu group, also said that if there is anything to do, just look for him.

Kato Kazuya like this has already taken a big lead over others before he even started.

Since this guy who has nothing can successfully become the president.Then, with so many selves, it is definitely no problem to be the president, right?

Kato Kazuya, after the death of his adoptive mother, not only had the hesitation and anxiety of losing his guardian, but also seemed anxious because he had gained too much suddenly, and couldn't wait to flex his muscles.

It is both a confirmation and a proof - he indeed has so many adults.

Kato Kazuya chatted with Iwahashi Shinichi and asked for his business card.

Come to a tea party, but get entangled by a young boy, this development is okay.Iwahashi Shinichi was a little helpless.

……

After this visit, the people from Misora ​​Hibari Office will be responsible for sending the things he bought to his record company.

Yanqiao Shinichi is very busy at the start-up period. Not long after he took off the poor man set, he still wears the label of the king of soft rice. He is far from cultivating sentiment and collecting treasures. He received it from Misora ​​Hibari When I sent the fax, I counted it up, and finally decided to buy it. It was a watercolor painting hand-painted by Hibari Misora ​​during his lifetime.

Buying things is still second, and it is true to show favor to the Enka faction behind Hibari Misora ​​by buying things.

As for why I bought this watercolor painting, it is because the theme of this painting is "Apple Minor".Whether the painting is good or not is another matter. Shinichi Yanqiao remembers that Akina Nakamori told him that when she was a child, she learned to sing "Apple Minor" line by line from her mother Chieko.As for Chieko, a loyal fan of Hibari Misora, her best song is "Apple Minor".

Anyway, I have to buy it, it is better to buy something that I can say.
